Abstract

A remote controlled toy vehicle system is provided, which includes: a remote controller adapted to generate a first signal; and at least two remote controlled toy vehicles adapted to control each other via a second signal, and each remote controlled toy vehicle adapted to receive the first signal from the remote controller. Each remote controlled toy vehicle comprises: a vehicle body; at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle; a receiver adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal each originated remotely; and a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers.

Claims

1. A remote controlled toy vehicle comprising:

a vehicle body;

at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle;

a receiver adapted to receive a first signal and a second signal each originated remotely; and

a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers.

2. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1 further comprising an upper body portion rotably connected to a top portion of the vehicle body disposed to rotate in relation to the vehicle body.

3. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a speaker adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.

4. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1 further comprising at least one light adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.

5. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a transmitter transmitting the second signal.

7. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the first signal or the second signal are each adapted to be transmitted at various frequencies.

8. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the first signal is originated remotely from a hand-held remote controller.

9. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the second signal is originated remotely from a second remote controlled toy vehicle, which is substantially similar to the remote controlled toy vehicle.

10. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 1, wherein the conveyers are caterpillars.

11. A remote controlled toy vehicle system comprising:

a remote controller adapted to generate a first signal; and

at least two remote controlled toy vehicles adapted to control each other via a second signal, and each remote controlled toy vehicle adapted to receive the first signal from the remote controller, each remote controlled toy vehicle comprising;

a vehicle body;

at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle;

a receiver adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal each originated remotely; and

a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers.

6. The remote controlled toy vehicle of claim 15, wherein the receiver is disposed on the upper body portion.

12. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11 further comprising an upper body portion rotably connected to a top portion of the vehicle body disposed to rotate in relation to the vehicle body.

13. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11 further comprising a speaker adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.

14. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11 further comprising at least one light adapted to be controlled by the first signal or the second signal.

15. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11 further comprising a transmitter transmitting the second signal.

16. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 15, wherein the receiver is disposed on the upper body portion.

17. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11, wherein the first signal or the second signal are each adapted to be transmitted at various frequencies.

18. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11, wherein the first signal is originated remotely from a hand-held remote controller.

19. The remote controlled toy vehicle system of claim 11, wherein the second signal is originated remotely from a second remote controlled toy vehicle, which is substantially similar to the remote controlled toy vehicle.

20. A method for playing with a set of remotely controlled toy vehicles, comprising the steps of:

providing a remote controller adapted-to generate a first signal;

providing at least two remote controlled toy vehicles adapted to control each other via a second signal, and each remote controlled toy vehicle adapted to receive the first signal from the remote controller, each remote controlled toy vehicle comprising;

a vehicle body;

at least two conveyers disposed laterally on opposite sides of the vehicle body used for conveying as well as turning the vehicle;

a receiver adapted to receive the first signal and the second signal each originated remotely; and

a group of electrically actuated actuators (electric motors) that act according to the first signal, having at least two actuators each acting upon the two conveyers; and

when a first remote controlled toy vehicle receives the second signal from a second toy vehicle, activating at least one motor for a predetermined time by the first remote controlled toy vehicle.
